Super-Sized...

I was curious to see what all the hype was about the new McDonald's Lobster Roll sandwich. As I went through the drive-through at a local restaurant, I fortunately found a ten-year old coupon in my wallet for a free "Supersize" upgrade on any menu item. There was no expiration date. So needless to say, after presenting my coupon, debating with the manager for twenty-minutes, one phone call to Corporate Headquarters and one to Corporate Counsel, and my threat to take my business to the nearest Burger King, the manager kindly obliged.

Both resurrected from the precipice of death and facing intense life decisions moving forward. It was so healing for me to spend time with them both. To hold their hands. To kiss their lips, face and foreheads. To reassuringly caress their arms. To intently pray for Divine healing and an abiding comforting presence. Understanding deeply myself the precarious balance of Life. The most beautiful moment was to look into each of their eyes, deeply, lovingly and knowingly. To profess my Love for each of them.

She Shared Tonight... That Under Her Moonlight... For Every Stolen Passionate Kiss... There was a Lonely Untimely Death... For Every Awakening Dream of Peace... There were Unspeakable Atrocities in War... For every Selfless Compassionate Act... There were Heartless Cruel deeds... Yet Over the Centuries... The Good far Outweighed the Evil... That Kindness Healed the Wounds of Cruelty... And the Blood Sacrificed through Love... Far Exceeded the Blood Shed through Hate... Such is the Balance of Humanity...
